Abstract

In todays growing world of technology more and more mobile applications are getting developed day by day and with the increased growth of application the threats for user’s accounts present in the applications being hacked by hackers is also increasing at a great rate. The proposed system focuses on increasing the privacy of mobile application when the user forgets the password by asking security questions based on user’s daily activity and even at the time of password generation it provides newly introduced advance feature to set new password. Security questions asked by the system to user are based on the inbuilt mobile sensors which trace the user’s location and call logs and deals with many other sensors present in the android mobile devices to authenticate the answers given by the user for the questions asked by system.
